Out of the Box

I therefore conclude...

2011-11-12T05:27:00.003+08:00

that I really can't do hiphop. It is sad but true. I'm not saying that I'll give up dancing - just this particular one. I've always been fascinated with it but it is true that not everyone can do it and I'm part of those who can't T.T

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I remember when my heart broke.
I remember when I gave up loving you.

Memoir of an Unutilised Employee

2011-09-10T01:43:00.009+08:00

Back when I was part of the project team, I used to love going to the office 30 minutes to an hour earlier than my scheduled time. I always look forward to checking my inbox, talking to the people in operations about the issues and cases they've received, chatting with my fellow SMEs to ask about updates - about work and plain gossip.

TBC - antok na ako...

Sometimes, I feel as if this is really assuring. Makes me feel as if no one is looking at my posts so I could just put anything here and don't care about the grammar, spelling and language. Makes me feel really free even if in fact I'm not - we're not. But sometimes, it bothers me kasi no one even cares about my thought... Well, ganun talaga. Weather, weather lang and minsan we're in the mood to be senti :)

Angst from My So-called Weekend

2011-08-23T01:30:00.005+08:00

I'm supposed to have a very busy weekend: attend the Blogger Fiesta event where I can hone my blog writing skills and at the same time expand my network; write an article or two on my blog; pick up my puzzle reservation; claim another voucher (guess for what? :P); and clean my room. Basically spend it away from the office. But alas! A well laid out plan was flushed down the drain with just one message. I suppose, just like rules are made to be broken, plans are made to be... changed. Just like a draft that only gets finalised once you do the act. *sigh*

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I receive a last minute advise that we have to re-shoot our video entry for an office contest and it is supposed to take about 4 hours. As if! The last time, we spent more than 5 hours and I don't think this one will be shorter. I really, really hate this contest now that they've changed the contest format! GRAWR!!!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Learnings. I have to remind myself to like this or else I'll end up as one of those weird guys in a straight jacket. Hehehe. So what are the learnings I got:
+ Proper use of make-up. Oohlala!
+ Checking my existing network as some of them were pioneers in the blogging sphere and are really good writers.
+ Connected to the one above, reconnect with old friends :)

Blogger Fiesta in Manila

2011-08-17T22:45:00.004+08:00

Who would have thought that even bloggers have these type of event these days?! Hehe. Just happen to stumble upon an old friend's post, Azrael, whom I met way back during my Juujiro days. The event will be on the 20th of August at SM Cyberzone, SM North EDSA and the entrace is absolutely FREE.

Hope to meet a lot of people there who are also interested in blogging. If you're one of those, just visit their site or click here to register

Outsourcing to the Cloud

2011-04-28T06:30:00.002+08:00

If the people could be outsourced, why can't systems and applications? I first heard about 'cloud' during my search for an effective and free anti-virus software and I do think it's a wonderful idea. And now, have just read that there is a service offered to call centers to outsource their system using cloud-based systems! As usual, this is one of those times when I wish I'm part of the think tank who came up with this idea >.<

You could read the article here.

Royal Betting and Movie Marathon

2011-04-27T03:05:00.010+08:00

I thought betting is only limited to sports betting but guess what, as per yahoo news, the royal wedding is fuelling the wagers! The wagers' worth is small compared to a sport event but still huge and it's really funny as some of the wagers sounds really wacky :)

I suppose this royal wedding is a really good thing for UK and EU in general as it is pulling the exchange rates up not to mention share prices (Hurray!).

Reference: Here comes the bets

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Hope the shares and exchange rate peak or at least keep on increasing til Friday. Can't wait to finally get rid of my RDSB :D

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Because of the busy year I had, the list of movies I've missed became long! Think about this, I haven't even seen HP7 when I usually take pains to watch every movie of this series (since the 4th installment lang ha kasi student pa ako nung 1-3 and student=purita T.T) on its first or second show day. Anyway, because of that together with my very free schedule at work, I'm watching at least 4-5 movies a week and 2 episodes of Kuroshitsuji or Nodame.

Part of the first few titles I've watched is Tangled. And I kind of related A LOT to her plight. I'll post my reflection on that bit on a seperate post. Promise!

Libre mangarap

2011-04-21T03:04:00.004+08:00

Dami ko fantasies and top 5 ng list ko:

1) Hidi pa serious si crush and si GF para may chance pa ako. hehehe. I really, really WISH para hindi na laging crush!

2) Makareceive ng email by next week. If internal, people begging me to accept a position na NEED talaga nila as it would hit 2 birds with one stone: save them and save my brain from expiring. And take note - it is a promotion! If external naman, they want the process to be expedited kaya 2nd and 3rd interview is scheduled on the same week!

3) After nung interview ko, makareceive ako ng offer na uber ganda (sana ibigay yung inask ko and more. Definitely more kasi pangarap ko nga to di ba?!)

4) Related uli kay crush - magkaroon ng chance na makapunta sa country nila para may excuse ako na kulitin siya to show me some nice spots! weehee! chance ko nang magpa-cute!!!

5) To get out of the country na sponsored ng company! Grabe ilang taon ko na to pinapangarap and yung pinakamalayo kong narating eh yung area near a local depot for an outreach project! Sana kayanin na ng powers ko this year xxx

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Pwede nga mangarap di ba? So walang pakielamanan! Siguro naman sa blog ko pwede naman ako maging selfish kahit paminsan-minsan. And I'm sure naman na of all things sa wish list ko, isa lang magkatutuo... yung makareceive ng email period :)

Ramblings: Posts in Review

2011-04-17T02:02:00.002+08:00

Our connection speed is so darn fast that I couldn't even view my gmail inbox using the basic html view! Because of that my moves are limited to:
- reading until my brain is toasted. wiki night so to speak;
- working on any of the 4 jigsaw puzzles I'm working on (walang pakielamanan kung gusto ko 4 at a time :P);
- cleaning my room which I really don't want to;
- or surfing pages that won't pique my curiousity too much that I'll end up with 10+ page open, very very light reading and not too addicting.

Guess where I end up? My very own blog! I honestly don't remember the stuff I wrote here so I decided to refresh my memory :) First thing that came to mind - what made me write in Filipino?! I mean nalilito ako sa use ng ilang words and mas sanay ako na Engalog. On top of this, natatawa ako sa sobrang conversational ng tone! Hehe Anyway, I've only read 2-3 of the post so will read the others later na lang. Laugh trip nanaman to I'm sure ;)

Goodbyes

2011-04-16T23:04:00.013+08:00

The last 2 months was an emotional roller coaster for me - my cancelled transfer, my mother's illness and a lot of goodbyes which I really hate. And just this week I had to deal with 4: 3 good friends I've met via work and our puppy. Now, I don't know what is more painful -spending a lot of time with a person but missed saying your goodbye in person or minimal contact but sharing majority of your time with them before they leave/gone for good.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I think I never really got over the death of my father and it's affecting my ability to deal with any type of separation and attend anything related to death - family of colleagues alike...

EDIT:
I now think it's either my feminine hormones kicking in or just me connecting with my feminine self? Whatever it is, I don't think I like it much >.<

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Hopefully, Dan will be back in less than a month so that's something to look forward at least :)

A year without post

2010-11-03T00:44:00.005+08:00

Wow, who would have thought that it's almost a year since my last post? Anyway, I'll talk about it next time...

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Since jigsaw puzzles became a prominent part of my life this past year, I think it fitting to post this piece I found by Resty Rivera

EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE I LEARNED FROM A JIGSAW PUZZLE

1. Don’t force a fit. If something is meant to be, it will come together naturally.

2. When things aren’t going so well, take a break. Everything will look different when you return.

3. Be sure to look at the big picture. Getting hung up on the little pieces only leads to frustration.

4. Perseverance pays off. Every important puzzle went together bit by bit, piece by piece.

5. When one spot stops working, move to another. But be sure to come back later (see #4).

6. The creator of the puzzle gave you the picture as a guidebook.

7. Variety is the spice of life. It’s the different colors and patterns that make the puzzle interesting.

8. Working together with friends and family makes any task fun.

9. Establish the border first. Boundaries give a sense of security and order.

10. Don’t be afraid to try different combinations. Some matches are surprising.

11. Take time often to celebrate your successes (even little ones).

12. Anything worth doing takes time and effort. A great puzzle can’t be rushed.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Hopefully, since my schedule is not so busy anymore, I can follow my usual at least post-a-week schedule :)

P.S.
To those who've left a message, I'll start processing xlink requests tomorrow. Promise!!!

EDIT:
Who would have thought that my schedule would be topsy turvy after I posted this?!

Tula ni Joey kay Papi

Can't help but repost this poem... By the way, if you guys want to join the Filipino nation in honouring the memory of President Cory Aquino, you may join the titacorymovement.

................................^.^................................

Mga kababayan at bayan ko, basahin n'yo.
(The Philippine Star)
Updated August 09, 2009 12:00 AM by Joey De Leon
MANILA, Philippines -
The funeral cortege of former Pres. Cory Aquino: My tears came naturally

Wala na sa piling ng mga Pilipino,
Tinig ng awiting Mga Kababayan Ko,
At lumisan na rin noong isang Sabado,
Inang nagpalipad sa awiting Bayan Ko.
Ako'y sumasaludo, paalam Pangulo,
May isa 'kong lihim, kay tagal itinago,
Sa lahat nang inabot kong mga namuno,
Tanging ikaw lang sa luha ko'y nagpatulo.

Marami ang nalungkot sa iyong pagyao,
Magalang ang lahat at puno ng respeto,
Nagpasalamat pa nga Kapamilya sa 'yo,
Dahil kanilang himpilan naibalik mo.
* * *
Subalit ano itong nabalitaan ko?
Nangyari noong Lunes, a-tres ng Agosto,
Habang inililipat ang mga labi mo,
Ika'y parang nabastos sa isang TV show.

At ang napakasaklap at masakit dito,
Ang nambastos pa'y kapamilya ng anak mo,
Napanood ito ng tao at publiko,
Kakaunti na nga, ngunit lahat nahilo.
Sabi ng TV host na mainit ang ulo
Pagkakita sa video na kanyang kasalo,
"Sandali, meron akong ano... sa'ting ano...
Hindi naman sa ano," nagkaanu-ano!
Ayon sa Internet, meron pa s'yang nasambit,
" Sana pakitanggal muna 'yan sa'ting traffic..."
At 'di maaalis sa iyong pag-iisip,
Ang parada ng patay ang pinaliligpit!
At dagdag pa daw ng naghahari-harian,
"I don't think na dapat n'yong ipakita iyan..."
Nasaan naman ang paggalang, o nasaan?
Mga sinasabi natin minsa'y pag-ingatan.

At 'di pa nangimi nang sumunod na araw,
Pinilit pa ring ginawa n'ya ay tama raw,
Mga nakarinig 'di na nakagalaw
At ayon sa iba sila na la'y napa-wow!

"... Pero ako, totoo 'ko eh ... ", sabi kuno,
Totoo nga at totoo ring walang modo,
Pwede namang sabihin itong pa-sikreto,
Kaya't wala na rin mga paliwanag mo.

"Kung ganyan, pakita na lang 'yan!", ang hamon pa,
Para bang ang prusisyon nila-"lang - lang" lang ba,
Ang pangasiwaan ay pinapili pa n'ya,
Sumunod ang himpilan, nung August 5 wala s'ya.

May mga komentong pwede nang pang-harapan,
"On camera" baga sa TV ang tawag d'yan
At kung sensitibo man ang gustong bitawan,
Pagpasok ng commercial, hintayin mo na lang.

Matutong magbaba muna ng mikropono
At saka idikta lahat ng iyong gusto,
Lagi kang mataas lahat daw takot sa 'yo,
Ratings lang ang mababa - totoo ba ito?

The breaking news breaks your heart - at 'yan ang bawi mo,
Nang mahalata mong sumablay ang pasok mo,
Pero sigurado ika'y maa-abswelto,
'Di ba ikaw rin ang may-ari ng network n'yo?
Nung Hueves nag-apologize sa diario naman,
O, akala ko ba wala kang kasalanan,
Tapos ng angalan, sunod paliwanagan -
COMPLAIN before you EXPLAIN ka na naman!
O ito kaya ay isa na namang "glitch" lang,
Tulad ng "two-zero" 'di na natin nalaman,
O ito ay maliwanag na kabobohan?
Sa tingin ng marami, mahirap lusutan.

Ang sabi ng iba - istupidong mayabang,
At giit ng iba - istupidong mayaman,
Mayaman man o mayabang ang tiyak diyan,
Napakayaman n'ya sa kaistupiduhan.

Buti pa ang apat na honor guards ni Cory -
Sina Malab, Laguindan, Rodriguez, Cadiente,
Walong oras tumayo sa ulan at viaje,
Ang lahat ay tiniis at walang sinabi.

Samantalang ikaw na may bubong sa ulo,
Komportable ka lang sa malamig na studio,
Nang kapirasong libing sa TV sumalo,
Angal at inis ang sumambulat sa iyo.

Maaari din namang pabayaan na s'ya,
Subalit ang nangyari'y mabigat talaga,
Namayapang pangulo'y huling paalam na,
'Di mo pa pinagbigyan ... hoy, nag-iisa ka!

At nais ko lang sabihin at ipagyabang
Sa mahigit na s'yam na libong tanghalian,
Sa limang pangulong sa Bulaga'y dumaan,
Kahit isa wala kaming nilapastangan.

The Organic Bug

2009-07-03T19:23:00.007+08:00

I don't know how it actually started but for a month now, I can't seem to stop using AND promoting organic products. I even started being a dealer of human heart nature just to avail large discounts!

I suppose I'm a real sucker for pro-Philippines products, ne?

I miss blogging :(

2009-05-02T04:07:00.004+08:00

I know it is up to me to update my blog but because of my schedule and workload, I find it impossible to even check my email. To bad for me I guess...

Lost and Definitely not Found: My Phone

2009-02-10T20:41:00.003+08:00

Guys, I lost my phone. I will be using the same number however it's still not active as of the moment. So, in case you want to contact me, you may send an email or leave a pm and I'll try to reply as soon as possible.

Regards,
Betsy

Blog Follower and Planner Climbing

2008-12-30T20:17:00.007+08:00

Nakakatuwa naman na may follower na ako other than my friend! Syempre happy na ako nun. Another milestone for me! Hehehe

................................^.^................................

Napapansin ko na yung mga coffee addict kong kakilala, kapag magpapasko, eh di magkanada-ugaga sa pangongongolekta ng stickers para sa mga planner ng starbucks or ng kahit ano pa mang coffee shop. Weird nga eh kasi yung ibang ndi naman umiinom ng kape eh nakiki-join na din! Nakakatulong ba talaga sa social status ng isang tao ang isang planner na galing sa starbucks? For me ha, sobrang mahal ng gagastusin mo just to have it. I always opt for the Jollibee planner or Watson's Journal (na nahihingi lang ng kapatid ko). Practical pero syempre ndi naman ako sila or sila ako, so la na lang pakielaman. Nagsasabi lang naman po ako ng opinyon :P

................................^.^................................

Medyo matagal ko nang hinahanap yung bagong office nung pagaaplyan kong trabaho. Sana lang, sa pagpasok ng bagong taon, ay makita ko na. Gusto ko na talagang magsubmit ng resignation letter ko >o<

Matatapos na nga kaya ang Naruto?

2008-12-30T04:05:00.004+08:00

Feeling ko oo.

Saan ka ba naman nakakita ng mga main character na namamatay sa kalagitnaan ng series aber?! Well, if you're reading the manga, you'll also see a lot of signs like Naruto's parentage finally revealed, Jiraya's death, the prophecy finally being mentioned and the "baddest" of all the bad guys finally making an appearace.

So whatcha think?

I really need a break...

2008-12-16T02:40:00.004+08:00

I just wish that it is possible to file a month long VL. I really need it! Why? Let me see....

1. My inbox is flooded and I have 3000+ emails that I have to read (or delete) hehe
2. Kahit office email ko ndi ko na nababasa lahat.
3. My health is suffering na din. Almost 2 weeks na akong may sakit :(
4. Na-miss ko na yung pillow ko!
5. Ndi ko na alam kung ano yung itsura ng mall (sa Cavite man or sa Manila). Baka maligaw ako sa loob kapag dumaan ako one of these days *shudders*
6. Miss ko nang mag-blog at magsurf nang dahil trip ko lang. Lately, kapag nagssurf ako, it because I need to look for a material of for some business related contact *blech*
7. Ummm... ndi na ako marunong magbilang? paulit ulin na yung number 3 ko kanina at muntik ko nang maipost ng ganun.
8. Miss ko na yung ibang parts ng bahay namin. Banyo na lang ata yung madalas kong makita dahil nakikiligo at nakikilagay lang ako ng damit lately.
9. have I mentioned na sabaw na yung utak ko? Ndi na tuloy ako makaisip ng number 9 at mas lalong alang number 10!

I have uploaded some of the pictures and videos on my facebook account.

At first we thought that we'll have a difficult time adjusting to the size of the venue but during the rehersal prior to the program, everything was somehow sorted :)

P.S.

Thanks to those who shared their vids and pics.

Very, Very Busy Me

2008-07-23T23:45:00.001+08:00

Really sorry for not updating for a week or so now. The dance competition is on Friday and we are practicing like crazy!

Wish us luck! :)

Losing Something Important and Gaining Unnecessary Stuff

2008-07-17T01:41:00.011+08:00

About a week ago, I lost my player due to negligence on my part. I feel very bleak that time because I'm one of those people who can't function without listening to any music and it is my fault so I don't even bother thinking about replacing it. Looking back, I've already lost a couple of players including a second gen shuffle and my first ever generic mp3 player and even if all of them are really cheap and common, I still bought it from money that I earned! WAH!! I guess my family sensed my mood and my sister decided that she'll lend me her nano until I have enough to buy a new one <3

My only issue is that I'm quite meticulous in searching for something that involve players and cameras and I usually spent days surfing sites such as shopwiki and tipidpc and other similar shopping/reference sites that not only show where you could purchase the item but they also have guides and forums where you could post your questions and check infos on the product you want. It is time consuming but it is worth it. AND I MEAN IT!

I just really wish that my sister won't miss it after a month or so since this is how long I take take to review and make decisions for gadgets like these...

................................^.^................................

Because of many sleepless nights thinking of who might have taken my player, where could we practice for the dance competition AND how could I attend the practice sessions, I somehow gathered several temporary "moles" in my forehead. I'm talking about pimples here okay! @.@ They're ugly, they're big and I have a lot of them now! WAH! It looks like my forehead is experiencing a very fruitful harvest season for pimples >.<

Thank goodness for my sister whom we also call the health and beauty guru (HAHAHA), the pimples population seem to be in control right now. Let's just hope that come contest day, they'll be GONE!

................................^.^................................

And speaking of health and beauty, we've just discovered this makeup brand that is really cheap but does wonders! You should check out E.L.F. (EyesLipsFace.com). They have a wide range of products that's very easy on the budget :) For the actual buying part, if you prefer to do your shopping online, you may visit their site or shopwiki. However if you prefer to visit the mall and try it first, they're available in SM Department stores :P

Randomness for this Weekend

2008-07-12T04:10:00.005+08:00

If ever they'll confirm my trip to the UK, I'll definitely check out different hotels in Glasgow, Dorset and Cambridge. Why? Because I saw my college Prof's multiply site and he posted breathtaking pictures! There's also a picture of a hotel in Malaysia (if I remember correctly) that has a very nice architecture.

I really think that guy has almost everything: brains, money, the TALENT (for teaching and photography) and looks. He definitely looks cute for me in a rather dorky way [NOTE: I love dorky look! Ask any of my friends and they'll tell you that I really like guys who wears glasses]. :P

................................^.^................................

I really don't want to go anywhere this Saturday since I'll be having a 6-day work schedule this coming week. And I want to hibernate til Sunday afternood. HOWEVER I don't have any choice since I have to buy the fans that we'll be using for our dance. I really am in a pinch >.<>

................................^.^................................

I really want to sleep for more than 6 hours but my stupid body clock refuses to adjust to my new work schedule @.@ I am already thinking of asking a doctor for a prescription drug that I could take but my mama still insists that a glass of warm milk would make me sleep faster than any drug.

................................^.^................................

I do wonder though where I'll get the money to buy warm milk...

HYDE's VAMPS and Halloween and DMC4

2008-07-10T02:51:00.009+08:00

I've seen the video of Love Addict (I am so delayed >.<) and I'm still trying to decide if I like it or not. It's just so weird to see that vampire in the video...

................................^.^................................

I've read somewhere that HYDE always has something special for Halloween but does anyone know if this is one of the reason why his schedule for VAMPS is SOOOO hectic?

................................^.^................................

Does anyone know at what particular part of the game do they play Drink it Down? I mean I know that it is part of the OST for DMC4. But do they play it whenever there's a battle or is it just for the Op-Ed credits? I don't have any PS3 so I won't be able to check it as usual.

And on the subject of game consoles, I somehow checked tipidpc and SHOPwiki (my favorite online shopping reference tools :D) and since the price is still above the allowance allocated for miscellaneous expenses, it looks as if it would still take a loooooonngggggg time before I could purchase one. Hopefully, L'arc en Ciel would still be active by that time and they're still makes OSTs and singles for games and animes T.T

Things I'll NEVER Forget Before Traveling Outside of the Country

2008-07-09T01:33:00.010+08:00

As usual, because of my busy schedule, I was unable to post the details from our trip to Hong Kong. I've decided to split it into two or three. Some will focus on the concert and the whole HK experience and others will have the photos and the maps and other stuff that I got from there. THIS one however will serve as my primer (or a reminder to myself) as to what NOT to do/forget...

Before the Trip
We encountered several issues but the major ones will be passport delivery delay, choosing between a free place to stay [subject to space availability] or booking a hotel, bagging the perfect airline tickets, finance and of course, the concert tickets!

Passport
Make sure that you have this before anything else! A concert or game ticket would be useless if you don't get your passport in time.

Airplane Tickets
If an airline have an ongoing promo, grab it and don't wait for others before you make the decision! It might be too late and I'm talking about several thousands here and not just hundreds.

Hotels
There are a lot of ways to book or look for one. The top and most obvious way is to look online. You may visit sites such as easytobook.com or the lonelyplanet just to have an idea as to what is available.

Luggage
I know it is good to invest in a few quality luggage but lets be practical. If you think that the next time you'll need a luggage for travel would be five or ten years from now, then I suggest that you head to Baclaran, Divisoria or Quiapo and buy something really cheap and please, don't buy those bags that worth Php1x,xxx+!

Finance
Save up and plan! It is and will always be the best thing to remember.

I'll cut this short now since I'm already sleepy. But once my brain received the rest it so deserve, I'll edit this if there are more things that should be listed here.

From Japan with Love

2008-07-09T01:16:00.010+08:00

I thought my day at the office would still be the same boring stuff however I was surprised when manong told me that a package arrived for me. Can you guess what it is? :D Wehehehe. It is the L'7 Tour phone strap that I've been waiting for ages O.O It is gorgeous and small and kawaii!

Special thanks to Debbie who bought this for me :)

Where's my Mail?

2008-07-06T16:07:00.005+08:00

I just so hate receiving late mails! When the postman makes a delivery, they just leave the letters by the gate instead of dropping it in our mailbox >.<

This got me thinking if we should change our mailbox's size or perhaps we could setup multiple mail boxes. I saw this site that has lots of mailbox designs and I'm planning on replacing ours with something that is out of this site (or a lookalike). At least, it would be protected from the dogs AND the rain. However, I'm still unable to find a mailbox that is for a postman who refuses to look for a mailbox @.@

Second Post for the Month!

2008-07-03T02:22:00.006+08:00

Isn't this great?! I mean I am not a blog-type of person since I hate writing and I prefer reading other people rant and rave so I am surprised myself that this site is still alive after 7 months (wohoo!) A great accomplishment for a person who took a month just to write a short description for a friend for their school picture book :D

Surprisingly, I find this really relaxing instead of tedious and it distracts me from TONS of issues that would only give me more wrinkles than I care to have at my age. Things like work, the upcoming dance competition, applying for a second job: these are my daily toxins and the list could go on so I'll just stop with these three, okies?

Anyway, another thing I like about my current "routine" is that I am forced to check my grammar! hehehe. I don't have a perfect grasp on any of those grammatical mumbo jumbos so please bear with a few errors here and there. In fact, I would really appreciate it if you could point out these mistakes to me :)

-----------^.^-----------

My post lately was all about toys, my search for toys and more toys so I'm thinking of shifting the focus on my manga and anime fascination for the coming months or so since their days are numbered*.

*Explanation to be posted on a separate title since my brain is telling me that I should sleep or else my eyes would destruct in 10 seconds...

Treasure Box!

2008-07-03T02:02:00.011+08:00

I have mentioned that I am currently infatuated with building sets and puzzles, right? Anyway, found this really neat site that showed me *finally* where the good, old fashioned toys could be found!

It is really, really neat and they even have the hometown carnival set which is similar to my Happy Meal Ferris wheel. And if you'll visit their site, they even show what is the usual price range for the item you're searching for, all the stores that has it and the price per store! Online shopping made easier since you won't have to switch or bookmark different pages when comparing different offers :)

I think my luck is really improving with regards to these kind of stuff :D

The Ferris Wheel I've been Looking for

2008-06-28T13:30:00.003+08:00

After a long time of asking fellow toy collectors about a ferris wheel toy free with every Happy Meal between 2000-2003, I was able to locate someone who is selling it. But first of, let me show you what it actually looks like...

Tada!

The model on the right is a little bit small since you'll need a total of 50 set to create the ultimate ferris wheel model. I just wish that I have kept the brochure so that I could upload it >.<

Anyway, I'll contact the seller and check how many set he has and how much of course since if he'll charge a very ridiculous price, then I'll just settle for the building kits that you'll find in Divisoria and Baclaran >.<

My First Ever Digicam

2008-06-28T10:30:00.000+08:00

After how many years of using a Canon SLR, I've finally decided to try a generic brand before buying something fancy (which what I'm itching for right now >.<)

Anyway, got a really good deal for this video cam since it has 4 freebies and their promo that time was: 1 gig SD card, camera case, tripod and a secret gift! :D (I am such a sucker for freebies). And, and, and you could pay it in 3 installments! *wink wink*

Well, as you can see from the pictures below, the image quality is okay for its price however, the BATTERY LIFE sucks bigtime! The maximum number of minutes I've recorder was just around 10-11 minutes. Take note: minutes. On top of that, the shutter speed is really slow that majority of the initial pictures are blurred despite using the stabilizer function to minimize the blurryness-chuva. It got me thinking that that might be one of the reason why free tripods are included in the package. lol. So, this is therefore NOT recommended for shooting action pictures and I suggest that you switch to video mode and get the pictures from it instead. Believe me, you'll just tire yourself trying and trying and trying AND failing.

P.S.

I now have 2 tripods: the freebie and the 1 for my SLR. And I almost forgot, the freebie is a mini-tripod. The one that could sit on your desk kind (uber cute!). Just look at that cutie :D If it weren't for this guy, I wouldn't have gotten the cam >.<

Trip Last Sunday: Pictorial in the Rain

2008-06-26T01:05:00.001+08:00

Been uber bored last Sunday so my sister and I decided to go out for a walk and FORTUNATELY, I brought my camera along. Hehehe. Here folks are some of the fruit of thy trip :)

This is my sister and on the background, of course, is our flooded place. Of course not all of the pictures look like these! Here are some of the nice ones. Well, nice if you'll compare it to the others that I got.

*********^.^*********

I do have a few pictures of my own since I think it sure is unfair if I won't have a few shots.

Look at that! There is me shadow! Oh and from the next shot, you can pretty much tell that I am wearing something green that day and that I'm also wearing my flipflops :)

And last but not the least......

Pops in Seoul's 1000th Episode live in Manila!

2008-06-25T01:29:00.000+08:00

K-pop buddies in the Philippines, this is OUR time!

VJ Isak and a special guest (tba*) would tape Pops in Seoul's 1000th episode here. It will be held at the Manila Film Center on July 5, 3pm. I guess this is their way of saying thank you to the Filipinos who supported their program. And not only are they thanking us, it also shows that OUR country is now being recognized as a possible venue for other K-events in the future :) Well, let's just cross our fingers and hope for the best. Hwaiting!

Oh, and before I forgot, the bestest, best part about this is that it is for FREE!!! And since Cassph, together with Arirang, will be organizing the event, you could visit http://cassiopeiaph.multiply.com/ for more information. See you there :P

NBC Shopping Made Easy!

2008-06-13T03:15:00.001+08:00

I was looking for nightmare before christmas merchandise when I stumbled on this particular site which is just very neat! It is the wikipedia for shopping and google all rolled into one :) As in! All you have to do is just type what you're looking for and voila! It would give you the merchandise that's available and a link to different sites that actually sells it. Just look at this replica (A Jack Skellington 18in Limited Figure), I've been looking for it for quite some time but when I visited shopwiki, not only did I found the shops that stocks it but I also found a bargain. I mean the original price is 249.99USD and the site is selling it for only 79.99USD! I don't know what to call it other that lucky me :D (Have I mentioned that I just love bargains?!)

Anyway, here's another reason why I just love the site. My mama is looking for wet/dry vacuum since our old, reliable just died on us. If you try to search for it, not only will it give you the sites where you can buy it, it will also displays a buying guide! I mean, how cool could it get?! I definitely love it since I don't have to open another browser just to look up the specs of a good vacuum (I also forgot to mention that I am a geek on top of being a bargain lover ^^;).

So, to cap it all, this site gets full marks on my book ^^V

Failing Sight

2008-06-09T16:42:00.000+08:00

Just got my new eyeglasses this month and the change was very drastic! From a grade of 550-600, it is now 600-750. I think I'll be a beggar if I keep on updating my grade every year T.T

Anyway, that's the reason why I have searched for some eye care pointers to remember (yung applicable sa lifestyle ko lang ha!):
1. Use the correct lighting everytime you read. (note: try to forecast the lighting style you'll use, as if pwede daw!)
2. Do not use excessive eyeliners or other makeup material for the eye.
3. Rest your eyes before washing your face (gusto nyong ma-pasma?!)
4. Avoid meddling with the eyes as far as possible such as rubbing the eyes often, or squeezing them.
5. AND place the light fixtures properly. Just like fine art lamps, ndi sila pwede ilagay na lang kahit saan :)

Anyway, I fervently hope that this would help or I suppose, if I do remember them, it'll somehow slowdown the degenerative effect of reading and stress to my eyes @.@

Childhood Reflections I: Reap What You Sow

2008-06-07T04:58:00.000+08:00

Hmmm di ko alam kung ano ang nakain ko (malamang OD ako sa chocolate dahil sa training?!? O.o) pero naalala ko lang tong paboritong ikwento ng mama ko kapag pinaguusapan nila yung mga 'moments' ko nung bata ako. According to her...

Bata pa lang ako eh curious na raw talaga ako sa mga bagay bagay at isa sa pinaka sineryoso at paborito kong subject eh science. Nagkataon daw na may project kami nun na magtatanim kami ng munggo sa dalawang box (labelled as A and B, malamang *snickers*) at i-dodocument yung mga changes na naganap sa loob ng isang linggo.

Sinundan ko raw talaga ang growth at developments ng dalawang box at kumpleto ang obserbasyon na isinubmit ko. Kaya lang, nagtataka sila dahil nagpagawa daw ako ng mas malaking box para lagyan ng halaman. Syempre naman, iginawa nila ako dahil kala nila school project pa rin eh. May itinanim daw ako dun at araw-araw kong dinidiligan at binibisita at kung ano pa (siguro kinakausap ko rin yun kasi dapat daw kausapin ang mga halaman para maging maganda ang tubo... {weirdness talaga!}). Anyway, matagal daw akong ganun at sa SOBRANG tagal, napansin nila na nadedepress ako dahil walang tumutubo. Tinanong tuloy nila ako kung ano ang itinanim ko. At syempre ang maganda ko raw na sagot "buto ng manok". Kasi sabi ng teacher ko, kapag nagtanim tayo ng buto tulad nung sa mungo eh siguradong may aanihin tayo. At isa pa eh ipinagtataka ko raw talaga kung bakit dumadami ang mga langgam sa kahon! WTF! Ang logic ko ata eh kakaibang lebel! Pero tama naman di ba? May sense kung baga. Ang pagkakamali ay nasa teacher ko. Ndi nya kasi nilinaw ang pagkakaiba ng buto ng hayop at buto ng halaman...

HAHAHAHA. Kahit ako tuloy natatawa nanaman :D Wala akong maisip na moral of the story dahil ang masasabi ko lang, MALI TALAGA TEACHER KO!!!

Kamusta naman ang matagal na pananahimik?! Matagal na dapat akong nag-post dito kaya lang natambakan ako ng mga bagay na dapat ayusin nitong mga nakaraang buwan. Well, di ko itatanggi na may halong katamaran na rin yun ha. Nauwi tuloy sa planner yung mga dapat kong ilagay dito. Kasi naman, masipag talaga akong magbasa pero sobrang tamad magtype at magsulat. Promise! Itanong mo pa sa mga dati kong klasmeyt. May sekretarya ako nung elementary at HS =) Siguro bukas, kapag sinipag uli akong magtype, maipopost ko lahat ng entry dun... Malay natin :)

Nakita nyo na ba ang trailer ng bagong pelikula ni Juday? Kung oo, aba! magcomment ka dito at sabihin mo ang iyong opinyon para ma-enganyo ang iba na panuorin ito! At kung hindi pa, dear, you're missing a lot.

Pero teka, tungkol saan nga ba yung film? Syempre tinatamad na akong magtype ng sarili kong summary kaya ipapaste ko na lang yung galing sa official site nila :)

In the picturesque island of Cuyo,
Palawan, an illegal Taiwanese fishing vessel docks carrying the fisherman named Muo Sei, a man looking forsomething or someone with the name Ploning. He has from sunrise to sundown to look for this "Ploning".

In his search, Ploning is revealed to be the island's town belle of the year 1982. A dutiful daughter to patriarch Susing, a committed supporter to grieving Intang, an honorary sister to extended family Nieves and Toting a wise ally to simpleton Alma, a supporter to broken-hearted Siloy and a co-mother to half-paralyzed Juaning. A woman so important that the townbarely notices the absence of rain because of her presence in their lives.

Despite her renowned beauty, everyone is puzzled why this 30-year-old spinster refuses to get married and still hopefully waits for her beau, Tomas, to come back. Tomas left for Manila when Ploning was 16 years old and there has been no sign of him coming back any time soon. Ploning's silent demeanor adds to the mystery and depth of love that no one seems to understand.. In the center of this, is a 6-year-old boy named Digo who has built his world around the affection and care of Ploning, his foster mother. But his entire world crashes as he learns that Ploning has plans of going to Manila to look for Tomas. Thus, leaving the boy with his bed-ridden mother, Juaning and his strict older brother, Veling. Digo trieseverything to stop Ploning from leaving and finds an ally in the town's visitor, the beautiful town nurse, Celeste. Celeste claims to have known and fallen in love with a man named Tomas and tried to follow him in Cuyo to find out if he loved him back. Ploning, with security and so much faith, denies that her Tomas and the man Celeste fell in love with are the same man. On the day of the fiesta, the rain comes and Ploning seems to be missing. Digo'sfeeling of abandonment leads to a tragedy that grieves the town. But no one was prepared for the secret that Ploning has kept all these years. A secret that exemplifies the selfless love that withstands blood, pain and even time.

Did Ploning choose closure with the man she has been waiting for half her life or the future of young boy whose life is not her own?

Will Muo Sei find his Ploning, accept the love revealed to him or continue to walk in hate?

Wootwootwoot! Interesting hindi ba? So, ano pa kasing hinihintay mo o.O? Wag ka nang papilit ha! I-click mo na yung link sa baba para malaman mo kung ano ang kakaiba dito at napasulat ako sa blog ng di oras! Hehe, promise di ka magsisisi.

Feeling Inspired to be...

2008-02-28T08:01:00.000+08:00

I feel like being a poet today and since I can't create a poem in just a span of a day (I tried... and I failed! lol), I'll just post one of the poem I wrote for my creative writing class back in college. And I am not sure if this was my final draft but will try to search my data bank if other versions do exist.

Disclaimer: It is not that great or something but I suppose it'll suffice since I'm no real poet :) Hope you'll enjoy it.

The Forest (2004)

As I enter this cold, dark world,
I have observed peculiar things
Like moss and insects, trees and beasts.

I see their fangs, sinking on their prey;
I hear the shrill screams of the hunted
And hushed whimpers of the survivors.
I feel the dampness of death
And the smell of decomposition.
Running and fearing what I witnessed,
Stumbling and struggling, wanting to flee.

Then I stumbled upon a clearing,
Temporarily blinded by light,
And what I saw took my breath away.

Hollow barks hosting families.
A carcass consumed by insects,
Storing riches upon the ground.
An orchid perched upon the stem,
Embracing its lover’s body.
Death provisioning the living.
The living celebrating death.

The place shows the majesty of life
The show where we watch and perform stunts:
Of death balancing beauty and life.

Kababalik ko lang mula sa isang mahabang bakasyon. As in bakasyon talaga dahil wala akong ginagawa kundi kumain, matulog at tumunganga Kahit gusto ko mang sabihin na nagenjoy ako dahil di ko kailangang pumasok sa office at magmarathon araw-araw papasok, sobrang na-bato naman ako. Nagkataon kasi na masama ang pakiramdam ko nun at madalas akong mahilo kapag naglalalabas ng bahay kaya ayun nasayang lang ang VL ko

2008-02-09T09:01:00.000+08:00

I've been having some security access issues with my external HD since last October. I have consulted several people from our IT department and other friends and the only option they gave me is that I have to reformat it so access would be back to normal.

I was feeling really defeated after several months of searching for a solution and was about to say byebye to 200G worth of files when suddenly, an old friend sent an instant message and asked if I have already fixed THAT particular issue. Suffice it to say that I pour all of my woes. After my long and winding tirade, he said that he'll take care of it and after just a few minutes, VOILA! It is back to normal with all the files intact! :D Makes me wonder how the hell did he knew what to do and whywhyWHY do some people in our IT department so freaking clueless?!

Anyway, back to the original plot. I cried. Who wouldn't?! I mean that is about a year's worth of download saved at the nick of time!!! As in I'm super happy to the nth level that day and all thanks to my techy angel <3

P.S.
I'd like to express my outmost thanks AGAIN to my techy Angel, Donald :) Million thanks and mwahmwahmwah!!!

Free Anime Music Anyone?

Part 1

I know there are a lot of guys out there who very much spend more surfing hours looking for anime OSTs instead of downloading them. AND since popular sites such as esnips and multiply have removed downloading option, it looks as if things are going downhill for us... But worry not since I'm going to give you several links where all you need is register and voila!

My absolute favorite would be gendou. It contains a lot of mp3s with different versions such as tv cut, karaoke and other remix. The only exception would be the ones on their black list due to copyright issue. And here is the said blacklist:

Just a reminder: the above list are the ones NOT there and not the only ones available.

Well, what are you waiting for? Take a visit and be amazed :) And don't forget, this is only the music download part. There are tons of other stuff you could do on their site.

Goodbye Hiatus!

I'm finally back :) Been swamped with stuff for an office-related activity that I wasn't able to view my site *not to mention my emails* for weeks!

Well, I just hope that I won't be THAT engrossed again and I promise *again* that I'll post at least twice per week :)

Top-Calibre Art Works and Photos

2008-01-03T15:15:00.000+08:00

I just can't believe the talent of these people! I do love photography and all but I'm afraid that my work is VERY far from theirs. One look at their gallery and you'll see that they not only love what they're doing: they have passion and dedication. You'll see the perfect play of the elements and I, for one, can't help but be amazed and be inspired into DOING something! I mean the first thing I did after viewing their gallery is to send an email to my artsy-fartsy friends and to post it here (hehe). Well, I might be exagerrating but why don't you see for yourself? But what I can definitely say is that their works is at par with international artists.

P.S.
The author/owner of the first site also sells accessories and dress that's for gothic lolita lovers! So, if you're interested or just want to view her items, better check her site :)

In the beginning

For an obsessive compulsive person like me, starting this blog takes a lot of time than what I originally thought! It seems as if I'm not satisfied just using a generic template or a so-so image or clip: everything has to be perfect! And that is what I'm afraid of... I just hope that instead of Jan 2009, this will be launched January 1, 2008.

Wish me luck with my self imposed deadline ^^;
